Chapter 566: Chapter 540: Reminiscing About the Past and Getting Drunk

Why did Xiao Qian suddenly become reserved?

Because in this decent-sized barbecue restaurant, besides her and Yu Minglang, there were some acquaintances at the next table.

“Dr. Chen!” Hu Meijing waved happily when she saw Xiao Qian.

“Vice President!” Wang Yafei also stood up.

At this table were not only Hu Meijing and Chu Xuan but also Wang Yafei.

Wang Yafei was friends with Chu Xuan, and it was through Chu Xuan’s introduction that he had met Xiao Qian.

They were all old friends, and Xiao Qian had treated all three of them before.

Wang Yafei had fully recovered after a period of psychotherapy, and a year and a half ago, he was given a chance to join Yu Minglang’s company. He has become another outstanding talent capable of taking on heavy responsibilities after Qiao Zhen.

Initially, Wang Yafei disliked Xiao Qian because she had reported his issues, causing him to miss the opportunity to join the Yu Clan. However, the two later reconciled, and he chose Xiao Qian as his psychologist. Little did he expect that Yu Minglang would send him a separate interview invitation after he recovered.

It was an assessment just for him.

After joining the company, Wang Yafei once asked Yu Minglang privately if Dr. Chen had interceded for him, which led to the exception. Yu Minglang replied that it was half true.

Yu Minglang saw the potential in the young man, and Xiao Qian also provided Wang Yafei with a guarantee, assuring that his psychological issues would not interfere with his regular work.

Still, the special interview invitation was given because of Wang Yafei’s own hard work and qualities. After experiencing rejection, he could still stand up, cooperate with the treatment, and maintain his normal life, which proved that he had a good mentality to become an excellent HR manager.

Wang Yafei was extremely grateful afterward and thanked Xiao Qian profusely. Xiao Qian only gave him a few words: Thunder and Rain are gifts from heaven.

Cherish all setbacks, as they can become valuable assets when handled appropriately.

Wang Yafei felt a different sense of gratitude towards Ming Lang and Xiao Qian, and this showed in his extra effort in his work. This made Yu Minglang gain a strong new team member.

Hu Meijing and her husband were even more grateful to Xiao Qian. Although Hu Meijing couldn’t remember Xiao Qian helping her awaken her personality, her husband Chu Xuan remembered it very clearly. After the child in Hu Meijing’s belly was born, he solemnly invited Xiao Qian to witness the miracle of life.

Seeing Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang, everyone at the table was delighted.

“You little rascal, why aren’t you asleep yet?” Xiao Qian walked over and immediately noticed the chubby baby in Hu Meijing’s arms.

“Don’t even mention it. This little rascal has too much energy and doesn’t sleep at night. He keeps both his dad and me up. By chance, his father just got off night shift, and we ran into Yafei, so we came out for something to eat.” Hu Meijing handed the chubby baby to Xiao Qian.

The child burst into giggles in Xiao Qian’s arms. The chubby, not even two-year-old child, was showered with love from his parents. From the healthy chubby body, it was apparent that he was a child born in a happy family.

“Dr. Chen, I found that Xiao Shuang really likes you. He always laughs happily when he sees you.” Hu Meijing noticed that her son was always elated to see Xiao Qian, and he would even try to pat her with his little hands.

“We must have a special connection.” Xiao Qian smiled and held the chubby baby.

The child’s formal name was Chu Shuang, and his nickname was Lang Lang.

When the child was born, Chu Xuan asked Hu Meijing what to name him, and without hesitation, she said, “His formal name will be Chu Shuang, and his nickname will be Lang Lang.”

It nearly scared Professor Liu, who had accompanied them, to death. He thought she might have remembered something.

But she didn’t; most of the time, Hu Meijing was gentle, occasionally showing a bit of aggressiveness. The past didn’t resurface in her memory.

Xiao Qian and Professor Liu once researched the special meaning behind the name, finally concluding that, in her subconscious, Hu Meijing and Lone Wolf had already merged into one person and the child was a different kind of continuation for Lone Wolf.

“My son loves to smile. No matter who he sees, he is always smiling.” Chu Xuan also cherished this hard-won child and was even more grateful to Xiao Qian for helping them in their time of need.

“Vice President, have a bite with us. When you arrived at the airport today, I wanted to treat you to a meal, but you said you were busy. Turns out you were busy coming to see Dr. Chen!” Wang Yafei enthusiastically invited them.

Xiao Qian’s face heated up, feeling like everyone knew what Yu Minglang was doing at her place.

“Dr. Chen, do you want some draft beer?” Hu Meijing asked Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian smiled gracefully, “Thank you, I don’t drink.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Minglang thought to himself: Keep pretending! Pretend all you want in front of others!

“Dr. Chen doesn’t drink, so Vice President, you should have some. Dr. Chen, rest assured I won’t get him drunk, and it won’t affect his ‘reporting’ work and ‘delivering public food’ with you tonight!”

“Why are you talking so much? Do you want to work overtime when we get back?” Yu Minglang exerted his unique authority in front of his subordinates.

“What’s overtime?” Hu Meijing asked curiously.

“Working extra hours.” Whoever made a mistake had to enjoy the overtime treatment.

“Is that how you lead people?” Xiao Qian asked Yu Minglang.

She had heard Shi Touyu complain that Yu Minglang was like a madman in the company, exhausting people to death, and poor Brother Qiao Zhen was always worn out.

“They’re exaggerating.” Yu Minglang refused to admit it, trying to portray himself as a gentle Husky in front of his fiancée. Unfortunately, his employees didn’t give him any face.

“Not at all exaggerated. That’s just what our daily life is like. It’s only slightly worse than this. Dr. Chen, you have no idea how awesome the Vice President is. We even suspect, in private, that he…”

Feeling the murderous glare, Wang Yafei wisely blocked his face with a menu, shielding himself from Yu Minglang’s fierce gaze.

It was over. He was going to have to work overtime after they got back. Based on the Vice President’s look, he estimated that it could last from overtime A to overtime G!

“How?” Xiao Qian was enjoying the conversation and questioned when Wang Yafei stopped talking.

“If I say it, the Vice President will retaliate against me when we get back.”

Xiao Qian asked Yu Minglang with a smile, “Are you the shameless kind of person who takes revenge over personal matters?”

I am! Yu Minglang roared in his heart, but he firmly denied it with his mouth.

“Of course not! I promise I won’t use any physical punishment when I get back.” I’ll just come up with a couple of new meal plans for him! Darn it!

How dare they complain about him to his wife? These heartless little brats! Don’t they remember how he taught them his wife-chasing techniques when he wasn’t working?

He had shared everything he knew without reservation. With Yu Minglang’s repeated requests, Xiao Qian occasionally wrote him love letters. They were full of subtlety and literary charm. When Yu Minglang was in a good mood, he would allow others to read the letters, both to increase their literary taste and to show off their love. This became a unique scenery line among the high-level managers.

Wang Yafei thought that the techniques Yu Minglang taught were toxic. Others in the company who pursued girls using his methods ended up unsuccessful. Now that they found an opportunity to “retaliate,” how could they let it go?
